Woz and I started Apple in my parents39。 garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar pany with over 4000 employees. We39。d just released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a pany you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the pany with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to differ and eventually we had a quarrel. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out. I really didn39。t know what to do for a few months. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. During the next five years, I started a pany named NEXT, another pany named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would bee my wife. Pixar went on to create the world39。s first puteranimated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NEXT, and I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NEXT is at the heart of Apple39。s current renaissance. I39。m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn39。t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you on the head with a brick. Don39。t lose faith. I39。m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. 56.
